最高に格好良いエルムウッド産フローライト。 スファレライトのレッドカラーとフローライトのパープルが他産地には無い特徴で美しいですよね。

Replying to @YuuriAlPotato
Hi, real rock consumer here. Chalk good. Pumice taste like nothing, but texture nice. Kimberlite,gabbro,dacite,basalt and pegmanite all taste the same Rhyolite slightly bitter Lherzolite yucki Shelly limestone is like mineral water but sticks in your teeth Anthracite very yum 1/5
